Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the hydrologic response and sediment yield under different land uses such as agriculture, rangeland, forests and mixed forest, horticulture and agriculture in moist temperate zone at Chikar. Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). In this study four sub-catchments were selected. Nine year's (1988-1996) average data showed that both the hydrologic response (16%) and sediment concentration (158 kg/ha) were minimum i.e. for the subcatchment under forest and was maximum i.e. hydrologic response (26%) and sediment yield (332 kg/ha) for the catchment under agricultural use. The response from mixed land use of forest and agriculture was 18% and sediment concentration was 215 kg/ha. For rang land hydrologic response was (21%) and sediment concentration was 340 kg/ha.
